Get the jokes out of the way right now. :p
Ok, I saw some great mech work this weekend at the WAMALUG meeting, and I got
inspired to do one of my own. I got right to work with a concept in my head,
and as I tend to do, I kept building on until I had to stop. I had finished the
Torso/Head component, and one prototype arm, and realized that it was absolutely
HUGE, and pretty heavy too.
Now, I don't have a huge amount to compare it too, but it's definitely bigger
than all of the work I saw this weekend. But I know I tend to build larger
models. That's not the point. The problem is that I have no clue how to go
about making legs for this thing. I have a slew of concepts and nice pieces
from my AT-AT and some other sets, but I'm not sure how to solidify the base
enough to hold up the torso, and still provide the flexibility I'm looking for.
I saw some nice tutorials on here on a few methods, but I am looking for some
tips and tricks for supporting larger mechs on two legs.
Thanks,
